Mara Cunningham knew that sleeping with a married man was a bad idea. But when her lover shows up in the hospital after his wife and son are murdered, the rumors about her turn dangerous. Now she’s the prime suspect in a double homicide, and the real killers will stop at nothing to silence her. Mara’s race against time takes her from the dense heart of Boston to the dark woods of New Hampshire, from gritty streets to the halls of power. Before she’s through, she’ll learn just which of her friends she can trust – and she’ll stare death in the face.
As of this morning, TOO CLOSE TO MISS is available on Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook, with other platforms coming soon. Current price is a beggarly $0.99. That’s less than anything you can buy anywhere. If you’re sitting at your desk at work thinking about whether or not to get this book, by the time you decide you’ll have already earned enough to pay for it.
If you like the book, please tell your friends via your preferred method – Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, that word of mouth thing. If you don’t like it, drop me an e-mail and I promise to take it in stride. As the price might indicate, I’m not in this for the money: I’m trying to build a fan base.
Thank you all for the support you’ve shown me over the years, especially the enthusiasm over the last few weeks leading up to today. It’s a weird crazy feeling.

I was gonna download the PDF and convert it to something for my e-reader with Calibre, when I realized that my time alone is worth 99 cents. Even I’m not that cheap!
Jason Brandenburg |
Bought it! As soon as I slog through this Guillermo Del Toro mess, it’s next on my Nook! Congratulations, dude! This is huge!

Congrats! I can’t wait to read it!

Congrats! I have the book on my Kindle for later and I can’t wait to read it.

Is iBooks in the works? Totes will buy.
Jim Henley |
Yee-hah! Will buy today! And am allowed to read things again this month, so good timing!
Grace |
Exciting! I’m going to go buy the Nook version now! Can’t wait to read it
Gina Damico |
Ahh congrats! What Will said; let’s see how fast I can steal it from him.
Perich |
That’s actually a different Will Sullivan (no joke!).

Dan: iBooks is in the works. It’s a longer approval process and a different format (ePub). Will notify you once available.
Erin |
Bought! I suspect I will be cracking it open on the plane to your fair city tonight. (Would love to buy you a drink in celebration if you have a night open this week.)
Gina Damico |
What!! Okay, plan B – find this imposter, and steal HIS Kindle.
Edward O'Connor |
Let me know if you have any trouble with the epub conversion or with the submission to the iBookstore.

LJ buddy here just to say that I’m looking forward to reading and I’m happy to buy it at the beggarly price.
PV Lundqvist |
I predict it’ll be too close to miss.
(sorry, I had to. Had to.)
Christopher Schmidt |
Bought. 99 cents is below my “hell, I’ll buy it even if I don’t plan to read it right away” threshold
Yvonne |
Congratulations John! Bought it last night and stayed up reading it. Love it! So happy for you
